Suggestion: Reply Formatting: IDENT would be nice

I use indentation to keep the hierarchy of thoughts intact.  Stuff I like to indent are

1) Long quotations
2) Notes or Asides
3) Topic details and detailed discussion
4) Stuff that the reader can skip if not interested in further detail of a though/paragraph.

I think 4 is perhaps the most important - it simplifies a long response by showing it's structure.

And then there are people who write one huge paragraph with no organizing.  ....ewwww
